Calories: 307
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups milk (600 milliliters), see note 1
- ¼ cup heavy cream (60 milliliters), see note 2
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder , see note 3
- 4 tablespoons dulce de Leche (heaped) , see note 4
For whipped cream (optional)
- ½ cup heavy cream (120 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar , see note 5
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring milk to a boil. Reduce the heat and add heavy cream, cocoa powder and dulce de leche. Whisk until smooth. Turn off the heat.
- Optional: Whip the cream and sugar until stiff.
- Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows.
- Serve warm!
Notes
- Whole milk, semi-skimmed or skimmed will all work just fine here. If you are using raw, unpasteurized milk, you need to make sure it is safe for drinking by boiling it for at least 2-3 minutes. This must be done on a stovetop!
- You can use heavy cream/double cream or whipping cream.
- I used unsweetened cocoa powder. If you use the sweetened kind, your hot chocolate will turn out extremely sweet.
- Caramel can be substituted for dulce de leche.
- Powdered/confectioners’ sugar (US) = icing sugar (UK).
